Can't find any additional information on the firm. Apparantly Joseph Ehrenreich who ordered these displays was the man who brought Nikon to the US. In 1954, he came to an agreement with Nippon Kogaku, manufacturer of Nikon cameras, lenses i and optical and scientific equipment, that made him the exclusive importer of that concern's widely used 35mm camera.

I used to work in a high class photo retailer in the 70s. We had a Nikon sign in the shop. Only the most senior salesman was allowed to sell or even talk about Nikon. The sign was only switched on when Mr Brown was in the shop. We could see pros peeping through the door to see if the sign was on or not. If it wasn't on they'd go away.
